State police at the Hazleton barracks on April 23 released incident reports of crashes that occurred last August and October.

Police said at 6:53 a.m. Aug. 30, Barbara A. Yothers, 75, of Weatherly, was involved in a crash on North Lehigh Gorge Drive, Lehigh Township, and suffered injuries that claimed her life.
